Layer Cake Social Kitchen
5-Course Elevated American Tasting Event
Just opened this past May, this downtown, multi-faceted, choose-your-own adventure experience with four floors of dining and revelry is the brainchild of hospitality experts Milkshake Concepts (which ushered Citizen, Stirr, and Vidorra to their stellar success.) In the blink of an eye, Layer Cake Social Kitchen has leaped onto Thrillist’s 2022 list of “Best Restaurants in Nashville” and Eater’s “Hottest in Nashville” list. So, you ask, what is there to find on those four floors? Well, there’s a laidback restaurant on the ground level, a refined dining experience on the second floor, a party-centric rooftop, and an underground lounge. In other words, something for everyone! The same can be said for the menu, which features a full range of feelgood/tastegreat items like farmhouse strawberry salad, Cajun chicken frites, double-cut pork chop with apple and jalapeño bacon jam, bourbon sriracha glazed salmon, ahi tuna tacos, gorgonzola waffle fries, and so much more. And cakes? You betcha. Fancy and yummy ones. It all sounds like just what the doctor ordered for these challenging times we’re living through, so we’ll hope to see you there!
